With the ESAD-50, EDGE’s Advanced Concepts is shifting munition safety toward software-controlled systems. The electronic device eliminates mechanical safeties, instead relying on sensor-driven logic to determine when arming conditions are met. Compact in size, the system monitors flight behavior through an integrated inertial measurement unit, ensuring arming occurs only after validated motion criteria are achieved. The design improves safety margins and enables easier integration into modern munition architectures, reflecting a broader move toward digitized weapon control systems.
